This is becoming a meme.
Used by the left to attack Musk. Used by the right to praise him.
-
The left and the right, the only two kinds of people in the world. Two homogeneous groups, two hive minds
God I hate those labels
-
Propose alternatives. I'm not especially fond of the labels either (especially since the "left" in the USA is "right centrist" in Canada or "borderline Nazi" in most sane places in the world; left/right is very relative), but it's the terminology that's used and when communicating you either use the extant terminology or you spend most of your time defining and redefining your terms in every message you post (and still get people mapping it to "left" and "right" anyway).
-
To not label people as A or B.

Nope. It is the far right gaining immense amount of power while both moderate right, left and "extreme left" are yelling at the terrorists (far right) wanting to crash the airplanes in the towers.
Be aware that if you lean in the far right, you risk going down with the terrorists while the "osama bin laden" of this story (and to be clear, I mean Elon) will be hidden behind the safety of his bunker.

How would you describe yourself? Labels are useful
-
Depends on the day... Some of us don't subscribe to a single political ideology because we haven't found one that we've found to be solid enough that we're willing to rally around it. Maybe that's because that ideology does not/cannot exist. I don't know...
I'm just speaking for myself, I guess.

OK, then tell me some of your core principles

Nah I'm good, thanks.

"the left" and "the right" are very US-centric IMO. Here in Sweden I'm somewhere in the center, leaning slightly to the right. In the US I'm guessing that'd be left of the far left.
-
Colour me surprised, a "no labels" guy who calls himself centrist-right. Fucking laughable.

This was my own reaction.
